How to Pick Songs and Deal with Waits at Karaoke
Busy Hour Song Trends and Waits
Waits at karaoke get much longer when it’s busy, often 60-90 minutes when full.
Big hit sings like “Don’t Stop Believin'” and “Sweet Caroline” fill up the song lists from 10 PM to midnight, making it hard to get a turn.
Smart Song Picks
It’s key to know how to manage the wait list for the best karaoke time.

- Try country ballads in city spots
- Look for rare songs from famous singers
